I like to use F11 starter as my primary punish for 29%. I just feel real confident with using it and damage is good. No hard knockdown tho. If you can easily assess that you're opponent is largely negative, I'd say 12WE2.

Solid damage and the string's neutral on block too . 1,2 wing evade 2 is good. For some odd reason I do 1,2 wing evade 2 in block strings, but when it comes to punishes I do 1,2, 3. I need to change that up because it's just a habit lol.

F11>flight cancel down and toward opponent>1>2>MC=29%/34MB'ed

Cool, I wanna try this one out when I hop on today.

I love F11's after WE3 on block because even if opponent does block F11, as you said, you are neutral! To me, that means free D1 frame trap attempt (worst case you trade), which due to the block spacing gives you either a sweep opportunity or WE3.

Lost. Concentrating isn't easy when the people behind you cheer whenever the dude did a combo or took a round from me. I'm not sure how I managed to stay calm after the end but god I seriously wanted to punch em, and I pretty much knew I had lost when that guy got me in the corner when I still had 150%.

I need soundproof headphones. Dicks.

Unlucky man, just gotta ignore people next time and play your game.

Yeah, I could tell you were rattled. That must've been quite difficult to deal with : / Regardless, good job dude!

Hey! Why don't you next time use headphones? Hater will hate, sadly!

And don't worry, you did your best and that's what counts

Was sent to losers by a batman, the crowd was cheering for hum and it killed mein the last match, I know how it feels to be a hated dude now lol.

I'm gonna watch you while I'm at work...I was, of course, in bed while you were competing (European gangsta, you!). Yeah, I was a little shocked at Evo how little people rooted for the HawkGirls...people were cheering for the Joker I played on stream and I was like "Maaann...wtf. Joker is so 1970's...it's all about Shayera!"

Yeah...I have this ridiculous bad habit I got from week 1 where I start doing the WE(3) pressure and when I land on the other side I just go into multiple d1's...when I should really be doing a block string...32, 12, F13, etc.,....I did this at Evo and felt lame...lol

Just watched the match against the batman and shazam. I said this since I first saw you play months back and it sill rings true to this day; You are by far the most aggressive and intimidating HG out of all of us. I just love watching you.

It's interesting how we are all slightly different in our play styles...I need to rush down more like you.

Same here!

Im on a KOTH lobby being streamed on Twitch. The guys channel is catnip_her0 and I'm starting off with Hawkgirl. My tag is KylinnElmer and I want you guys to check it out.

Edit- Streams over and I went around 12-1. Pretty satisfied

Is it the part where I strike their team and the crowd is silent or the part where they throw me in the ocean of the evil crowd that rips off my concentration that you watched? lol
Did you see it live or are there archives already?
Thanks anyway.

To be honest I had no idea a crowd would react like that to me, especially since I don't use a very used character. Completely caught me off guard. But I guess winning too much comes with a price.

And no, I didn't do my best in my solo tournament because I couldn't even DO anything decent, my mind was completely not in the game because of the loud crowd.

Ohh yes! Idk why if people don't want you to win actually says idiot comments! Just ignore them, they might be scared so that's why they do that lol.

And yes, but for at least try it! I'm pretty sure that without all that shit you would have placed in the top.

Just throwing this out here since I don't think it merits a thread in itself - if HG could block projectiles while in flight mode, would that solve her really bad matches? Would it make any way too good for her?

Edit: tagging colt, since I feel the discussion has largely shown favorable results towards it.

Shes borderline top tier as is. Adding that would make her the best character in the entire game. And I understand why so many people boo and hate watching HG. I understand as HG players its not so bad and its cool to see people play your character, but to everyone else its like Nyquil.

 

[Duck Nation]

I actually like seeing Hawkgirl a lot and I am exclusively a Deathstroke player. People complain about Superman being boring too, but it's not my fault people can't recognize and get hype for good play no matter the character. I like HG - my favorite character with two eyes - and I wish she didn't have matches where she got buttraped.

She'd be way broken man.

What would be the reason for her to EVER come down from flight? With jump attacks and dragon punches being the only thing to bring her down, what would keep her from staying there?

Maybe if after she blocked a projectile...... she'd fall to the ground?

 

[Icy Black Deep]

I may be thinking too much about Sinestro, but I'm thinking her bad matchups would be helped with a good, fast way to close distance--one that the opponent can't see coming a mile away. Maybe if you could meter burn ground mace toss immediately instead of waiting for her to spin her mace for an hour. (It doesn't really matter if the mace comes out or not, that's kind of immaterial in this scenario.)

How many characters can even knock her down with projectiles as is? She flies over most of them. The people who body her are the ones who can do that, and as a DS player I think it'd still be 6-4 in my favor.

 

[Tiger Wong]

You want her to block Batman's grapple, batarang, and trait? After that..... what else can he do?
You want her to be able to block Arrow's arrows (ha. That's funny to say. Arrow's arrows)? After that. what else can he do?
How would Cyborg hurt her if he can hurt her in the air.
What about Raven? Can she hit her with anything else?

I think that unless you let her block the projectile, but fall from the ground after it...... she'd be broken.

I do kinda get what you're saying....... DD's Supernova, WW's demogoddess attacks, GL's lantern's might and turbine smash Batgirl's teleport and jumping attacks could kinda still make her hurt........ But in WW's case and GL turbine smash, a simple horizontal mace would throw those off.

Maybe if...... you double the block damage? Or make 1.5 more chip damage than usual?

At least a faster forward dash, and less recovery on it :c

 

[Espio]

I'd rather just buff they game's walk speed,that would be great for getting in on zoners.
